Hi Charlotte,

Wow! Things are really on the up, how fantastic; I am really pleased for you.

Since using Nephria, I and my daughter's skin has benefited in so many ways.  I am a 42 year old Beauty Therapist / Alternative Health Therapist, who has really looked after my skin however I have travelled and worked in hot climates and very cold climates and I ski and surf etc, so my skin has had the elements to it a great deal!  But my skin has had signs of reversal of sun damage, and elasticity has bounced back and I use it all over my body.  My skin seems to have more resilience, and I am getting more of an even tan this year like I used to when I was younger.

My daughter, who is 11 years old, has just started to go through her oily stage, bless her.  But since using the soap it's under control and the few scars that were apparent have faded considerably and her confidence has soared.

I have also been using it on my 4 year old in her bath and she never has any rashy ailments and her skin I feel will have an extra head- start in life!

My mum recently gave me a bar of your Nephria soap, which I love to pieces.  When I first used the body bar I started using it on my 9yr old son who happened to have a skin complaint which there isn’t really a cure for, it just had to run its course according to the doctor...I washed my son with the body bar no more than 3 times...and his complaint had gone!!!  I’d like to think it was due to your product.

And as it happens I am halfway through my bottle of serum of which I also love using.

I’ve only got all good things to say about your products, I adore them.

I have been using Nephria Beauty Bar for almost 2 years after having it recommended by a friend. I have very sensitive skin which can become blotchy when using harsh products. I have suffered with this problem for many years and it had become a constant problem.
When my friend told me about the beauty bar I thought here we go again testing another soap. After using it for a few days I thought this is great, no stinging and itching. I now use it all the time.
My friend then told me about the serum which I placed an order for immediately. I have been using it for the past 6 months and it has given me my confidence back as I now have a face to show to the world it is so good and definitely worth the price.

I have been using Nephria Jade Serum since May this year and cannot believe the difference it has made. My skin is smooth and glowing and the lines that had started to appear on my upper lip have almost disappeared. My everlasting search for an eye product is at an end, I just use the Serum

During the summer months I have needed no other moisturiser.

Thank you nephria, a product in a million.

Anjo from Lincoln

I absolutely love this serum. It has made my skin very smooth and soft and I have noticed a difference under my eyes. I suffer from very dry skin and this has really hydrated my skin making it very smooth. The packaging is beautiful and I love the smell of it.

I bought this as a gift for my wife and she raves about it. It has made her complexion smoother and radiant. I now need to buy her some for Christmas. It was well worth the money and to see her happy!

Hi Charlotte,

Thank you for responding to my e-mail, as quick as you have done.

Having received my bars only this week and using it that same night, I definitely noticed a remarkable difference then and there, my skin looked brighter, more radiant and felt supple, and I am hoping with continued use, my skin would excel with beauty.

I cannot tell you how excited I am, in looking forward to using 'Nephria' serums and lotions, hoping that they also will give just as good results or even better, than the bar.  Please, please, please, inform me by e-mail of the launch of the serums and lotions, as I do not want to miss out.

Best wishes!

I have just placed an order for my second beauty bar. I absolutely love it. My friend has commented on how glowing and young looking my face is. I am a young 63 year old. When are the other Nephria products available. I can’t wait to try them. Just had to tell you how happy I am that I have found the beauty bar.

Hi I have recently purchased two Nephria bars one for me and one for my daughter who suffers very badly from psoriasis the beauty bar is wonderful and we are looking for a good moisturiser to complement the Nephria bar when finished bathing when is yours due for release and can I purchase in bulk as my daughter baths twice a day so we are getting through the beauty bars quite quickly every 5 weeks approximately?

Eileen Douglas

If you are looking for a good cleanser for the face and body, TRY THIS ONE!!!!!!

I can honestly say that this bar lives up to its name, '(Beauty Bar'). With continued daily use I noticed the following: a brighter, smoother, radiant, youthful complexion and I love the way my body feels totally cleansed after each usage. My only concerns (at first), were that it did leave my skin feeling tight, slightly sensitive and very dry. However, to solve that problem, I applied extra moisturizer to my skin and now 4 weeks later, I am back to using my original amount of moisturizer.  Preservation is the key, you will not be disappointed. I can really see the beauty in my skin.

Take Care!

Hi Charlotte,

Can I just say that I am still so very pleased with your products.....all I do now is wash with the Beauty Bar at night and put nothing else on my skin.  Wash with it  again in the morning and then apply the Serum.  
Had lots of compliments from  friends I don't see often like "your skin looks positively glowing", or your skin looks very radiant (at 59 is a real compliment).
Even a neighbour commented in the Summer that my skin looked amazing and what was I using.  I told her if there were any offers on I would let her know too.

The nice thing using your products is that I never get break-outs or dry patches anymore.  My skin has always been good for my age, but can honestly say that this is the best stuff I have ever used.

Look forward to hearing from and hoping your business is still flourishing, you deserve it.

Best regards,

Angie Crane

Hi Charlotte, firstly I want to thank you for sending a Nephria bar, it was extremely kind of you & a much appreciated gesture on your behalf so thanks again, myself and my son Jason still continue to use and enjoy it and he has commented on how his eyes do not nip now either, his skin is in great condition, I’m so glad we discovered Nephria when we did as I know it will stand Jason in good stead throughout his teenage years and all the skin changes that this entails. An update on Clare, she started using the bar on top of her legs and arms and hasn’t had any noticeable irritations.

Thanks again & take care, Moira (Cleland).

Hi Charlotte,

Thank you, Charlotte, could I say how wonderful your product is it has made a great difference to my skin and I truly would not like to have to do without it keep up the good work.

Thanks again Sue Stephenson

Revitalising, Rejuvenating….Nephria Style….

Well hello everybody….where have you been we hear you all shout!!!

Well it seems since the launch of our Bosom Buttons on the site, life has never been busier and whilst we took a little holiday, every waking hour seems to have been spent on Bosom Buttons!!! And grateful we are too!!

But it’s time, and quite frankly we’ve missed pontificating on the finer points of life and it is with great pomp and circumstance that we return to the Blog today raving about something that has certainly helped us to revitalise and rejuvenate and that is the Nephria Jade Serum!

Now this beautiful little bottle of fabulousness (love the colour!!!) contains everything you need in a serum to boost your complexion and we love it!!   They say it’s one of the best kept secrets in the beauty industry - well we’ve just found out about it and now I think it only fair that you do!!!  “Many have tried but few are chosen….” but we have to say this one is coming out high on our list of serums that we love - cleanse, tone and a few drops and whoopee, you look gorgeous again! Its high quality ingredients include Nephrite (pure Jade), natural oils derived from apricot, olive and jojoba and high concentrations of Chitosan and Vitamin E. 

 And let’s face it, with Winter and party season now setting in, we’re going to need all the help we can get!  And although it’s not the cheapest at £45, it’s money well spent!!

PS.  Now I know this is a little extravagant but it does work wonders on your hands too!!!!

Sarah Dalby

Thought I had better write and let you know how I am getting on with the Serum.

 

Been using this now for just over a month.  The Jade soap is exceptional in making you feel wonderful and sexy (as I use it all over my body), but the serum is something else...... It's a shame you can't use this all over. 

 

When I apply the serum to my face it makes my skin feel like very fine velvet or silk.   I'm not sure if it's reduced my wrinkles as I think it's too early, but who cares when you feel  this wonderful.

 

Congratulations in producing this product at an affordable price.

A rave review is great. A rave review from my mother-in-law is even better, because she has a healthy scepticism of the beauty industry, is a doctor, and has absolutely no reason to tell me that something is fabulous if it isn’t.
So when she told me how much she was enjoying the Nephria Jade Serum that I gave her to try out, I was interested to read a bit more about the company and its philosophy. Run by a husband and wife team, Andrew and Charlotte Mills. Nephria focuses on the use of pure Jade, which has been associated with health and beauty in the Orient for thousands of years. Charlotte came across Jade products in 2006, contacted the supplier and went to South Korea to meet him and his family. She was amazed at how healthy and vibrant their skin was. The products have been available in South Korea for over 30 years, but had never been exported.
Anyway, you can read more about Jade and its benefits on their website. In the meantime, I’ve chatted to Andrew on email (they are based on the south coast) and he has kindly offered to add a free Jade Beauty Bar, worth £20.00, to any orders of the serum reviewed below from Product Placement readers. You need to order by phone though – on 02392 504755 or 07791 249451 – and mention this website. My only problem now is that I wish I had a bottle myself but hey, them’s the breaks.
What is it?
Nephria Jade Serum.
How much?
£45.00 from http://www.nephria.com/
What does it promise?
“The Nephria Jade Serum is one of the best kept secrets of the beauty industry. Containing highly concentrated ingredients including Nephrite Jade, the Serum is absorbed quickly and more deeply into the skin for a more intensive effect.”
Does it deliver?
I have to admit I was a little sceptical about the promises, but it actually DOES live up to its promise. My skin feels smooth, soft plumped-out and less dry immediately after application.
What’s nice about it?
It has a fresh subtle scent. About 5 or 6 drops are sufficient to cover the face and it applies really easily, and is absorbed almost instantly without any residual greasiness left on the skin. My own make-up goes on top of it with no problem.
…and not so nice?
I have no adverse comment to make at all, and will certainly buy it again. Obviously it is too early to comment on any long-term effect on wrinkles but what a good start!
Would you recommend?
I would certainly recommend it. I love it! A real feel-good factor on using this product.

Hi Charlotte
 A big thank you to Nephria soap for saving me lots of money, I have used the jade soap for a number of years now and no longer need to buy cleanser, toner, or facial scrubs in fact if I was younger I believe I would not need moisturiser either. 
From the first time I used the soap as a beauty product it, rejuvenated my skin and left it fresh and glowing immediately, but in the long term it has had many other benefits. I am often complimented on my skin and people think I am much younger than I am by 10 years and more which is a huge compliment not only to myself  but also to your product.  If I were asked to mark this product out of 10 I would give it 20. It is my best friend, it never lets me down, it saves me money and boosts my self esteem, what more could you ask from a beauty product.
I agree that the serum is excellent, I still love my soap and now I love the serum.  You could see an instant brightness to my skin, even after using it for a short period of time it does what it says on the packet.  I am very impressed, I believe like the soap you will gain even better results using it over a long period of time.

Thank you again Charlotte and Andrew it is always a pleasure to deal with you.

Best Wishes

Moira

Dear Charlotte, could you send me the two as it will save me asking again later could you let me know when your serum and moisturiser is for sale.  Thank you for the trouble you are taking it is a great product. Good Luck all the best for 2010 and beyond.

The Myth and Mystery of Jade

Jade is a gemstone of unique symbolic energy and unique in the myths that surround it. With its beauty and wide ranging expressiveness, Jade has held a special attraction for mankind for thousands of years.

This gem, with its discrete lustre, which comes in many fine nuances of green, has been known to Man for some 7000 years. In prehistoric times it was esteemed for its toughness, which made it an ideal material for weapons and tools.

As early as 3000 B.C. Jade was known in China as ‘Yu’, the 'Royal Gem'.  In the long history of the art and culture of the enormous Chinese empire, Jade has always had a very special significance, roughly comparable with that of gold and diamonds in the West. Jade was used not only for the finest objects and cult figures, but also in grave furnishings for high-ranking members of the imperial family. Today, too, this gem is regarded as a symbol of the good, the beautiful and the precious. It embodies the Confucian virtues of wisdom, justice, compassion, modesty and courage, yet it also symbolises the female-erotic.  It was and still is honoured and esteemed Jade more highly than gold.

In the ancient world, Jade was admired as the stone of love, inner peace, harmony and balance. In other regions and cultures, Jade was regarded as a lucky or protective stone; yet it had nowhere near the significance that it had in Asia, which was presumably due to the fact that people knew relatively little about this fascinating gem. Fortunately however, in recent times, people's understanding of this gem, which fascinates not only the connoisseurs by its perfect interplay of hardness and toughness with an enchanting range of colours and fine lustre, has improved; and their esteem for it has been on the increase all over the world.

What is Jade?

Jade, or Yu, as it is called in China, is strictly speaking a generic term for two different gems, Nephrite and Jadeite. The name is derived from the Spanish Piedra de Ijada, loin-stone, Jade having been recognised by the Amerindians as a remedy for kidney ailments. Because of its beneficial effect on the kidneys, the stone was also known as Lapis Nephriticus. That, indeed, is where the term 'Nephrite' came from.

Jadeite and Nephrite are both regarded in China as ‘Zhen Yu’, or 'Genuine Jade'.  It was not until the beginning of the 19th century that mineralogists and gemnologists started to differentiate between them, since they bear a considerable resemblance to each other in terms of their appearance, their hardness and the properties they exhibit when being processed. Both are tough, since they consist of dense, close-grained, matted aggregates, but they differ from one another in their chemical composition and colours.

Nephrite ranges mainly from mid to dark green or grey-green, but it can also be white, yellowish or reddish.  Rarer, and somewhat tougher, Jadeite displays hues which include green, but also white or pink, and reds, blacks, browns and violets. In both minerals, the way the colour is distributed varies a great deal. Only in the very finest Jade is the colour evenly distributed. Both Nephrite and Jadeite often have veins, blemishes and streaks running through them, though these may not always be regarded as flaws. On the contrary, some of these patterns are considered particularly valuable.

I absolutely love your soap and have noticed a remarkable improvement in my skin since I started using it a few months ago.  I am in desperate need of a new face cream and wondered how much longer it will be before the new skin cream is available to buy?

K Briggs

Just started using the jade beauty bar this week. I am very impressed, have tried a vast amount of products over the years and have been disappointed with most. Incredibly my skin already looks and feels better with this beauty bar! Please - when will the new products be available?

Mrs Jean Dick

Hi Charlotte.

I ordered a Nephria bar for myself last week. I lent one of mine (to try) to our sheltered flat warden as she has problem skin.  Sue came in this morning with a £20 note and a big smile and asked me to order one for her. Of course I gave her my new one so would like to order another one for me

Best wishes,

Jean

Ms S Akhtar

Having bought the Nephria beauty bar recently and having been extremely impressed, am keen now to try other products in the range.  Please update as to launch of any forthcoming products.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Nephria

Nephria is a unique range of luxurious beauty products, all made from pure Jade with major benefits for the skin and complexion. Although Jade has been used for beauty and skin care for approaching 7 000 years in the Orient, the concept of Nephria has only existed in the West for a few years. Using pure Nephrite Jade from a unique mine in South Korea, we manufacture and distribute to a limited customer base in the UK, USA and around Europe.

Currently the range consists of 2 items, the Nephria Jade Beauty Bar and the Nephria Jade Serum. We will be launching the Nephria Jade Activating Cream early next year, followed by our most exciting project - the Nephria Imperial Perfume, using highly energised Nephria mineral water from the Jade mine.

The Nephria Jade Beauty Bar, a cleansing and exfoliating Bar that leaves the skin smooth and radiant. Its rich and creamy lather helps to tone and brighten the skin with regular use and our many testimonials report that it has very beneficial effects on a variety of skin ailments.

The Nephria Jade Serum is a high end product in every sense. Containing pure Jade, in addition to Hyaluronic Acid, Myrrh, Glycerin, Green Tea Extract, Bamboo and Papaya Fruit Extract, it works beautifully to leave the skin nourished and hydrated and is such a pleasure to use.

I am a total and utter convert to skin care (having served for 26 years in the Royal Navy Submarine Service, where men don't 'do' skin care), so I have become used to some 'gentle' ribbing from my former shipmates for starting a business in the hugely interesting and very attractive area of beauty and skin care!

Should you be happy to use the Nephria Jade Beauty Bar, please be aware that some may suffer a tightening of the skin for a few days and even a breakout. This is entirely normal and is not a reaction to the Nephria Jade Beauty Bar, but your skin becoming used (and cleansed) by a new product.

Were you to persist with the Jade Beauty Bar for a week or so, your skin will balance and become so smooth and soft, if it is not already. The Jade Beauty Bar also has a very gentle exfoliating effect, so please do not use any other method of exfoliation concurrently with using the Jade Beauty Bar.

Any feedback would be really appreciated and, of course, anything we can do for you would be a pleasure.

Best wishes,

Andrew MILLS
